I use a customised version addon for myself and as per my needs, not everyone will favour the way like I do. And frankly if gone wrong, you would be just duplicating the effort. I already explain how I like to use this combo in past couple of pages somewhere.

No change of heart and no problem. :D

The script doesn't reflect on the add-on filtering log either, for me:—

That's fine. And by design, it shouldn't.

Great, now that you agree the script (https://local.adguard.com/adguard-ajax-api/injections/content-script.js) shouldn't appear on the logs by default, let's move on to the more relevant part.

All I'm saying is show me an example where the program is blocking 'more' requests(other than the HTML-type) than the addon. :rolleyes:

Backup/disable all your rules (including your subscribed filter/s, if any) and then use just the one single rule:—

 

://$other

 

Next, go to the following homepage and take a screenshot of the page (not, of your logs) — use this test with the standalone add-on and the program, as well:—

OK I see now, what you're trying to say. And I agree that with that rule it is blocking more, but at the same time it increases the work, getting site to work. But I get the granularity. :)

OK, glad we're on the same page . . . . . . . on this matter, too.

 

Now, that I've started from scratch on AdGuard and Firefox, there's anyways plenty of work to do (for me) and that does not faze me so long as it's just a one time proposition (per site.)

 

The one and only one reason why I made that life-changing decision to switch-over to AdGuard (for myself and for all my clients, as well) was that it blocked more than my uBlock + uMatrix combo (despite the fact that I had to give-up on, a great deal of ease-of-use and granularity.)

For 2-3 weeks starting tomorrow, I would be in a passive mode. I may visit nSane only once a day and that too not for any discussion. Will be working out on something on a personal front. But after that, I'll be back. :D

Heads-up:—

 

Have noticed that the Secure rules option-box on the latest version of Windows Firewall Control (WFC) tends to disable itself — it does not seem to occur though, when Windows Firewall Control (WFC) is left locked with a password. yXZVmpE.gif

Have resolved this issue, too. B)

Ah, fine point vhick — unfortunately, don't think AdGuard can handle anything other than very specific IPs (unlike other modifiers, the $network modifier seems to be very limited.) :(

 

Thank you for immediate reply sir @dcs18, No worries. I just minimized my running/installed program and I though Adguard can handle those things. I greatly appreciate your time and effort Sir :)

[...] I'm pleased to see more of you guys using uMatrix, too — it was my fav. ad. blocker until Undertaker convinced me to switch to AdGuard. F3h9xqz.gif

One day perhaps I will try AdGuard.

[...] There is not even a single request of media-type coming from googlevideo.com and secondly, my video is not playing at all, in default size, in expanded size or in full screen.

Pardon @Undertaker but as you can see on this picture, I don't understand how it could be ?

In fact, the request are made by googlevideo.com since a few years ago. Because I can't recall exactly but I had create this Umatrix rules almost 2 years ago.

And about the xhr, I didn't made a mistake. Because once it was enable, right before the 2nd video I had see many of this kind of ads.

AdGuard Nightly Builds

https://github.com/AdguardTeam/AdguardKnowledgeBase/blob/nightly-builds/pages/02.general/13.adguard-beta-testing-program/docs.en.md#nightly-builds

Quote

Nightly builds are special builds available for AdGuard for Windows and AdGuard for Android. They are updated every three days and contain the most recent changes made by developers. If you decide to install a Nightly build, be ready to face occasional bugs and unexpected behavior (and feel free to report them). You can download Nightly builds at these links:

setup.exe or https://agrd.io/windows_nightly — for AdGuard for Windows; adguard.apk or https://agrd.io/android_nightly — for AdGuard for Android.

Needs to be mentioned that apps for other platforms do not have Nightly builds yet, but we plan on introducing them later.

DD-WRT is now 3.0-r35034.

For me, this firmware release caused a drop in connectivity in both — LAN and Wi-Fi, as well.

A TUTORIAL ON  HOW TO ACTIVATE IDM USING "Simple DNSCrypt"

Heard about the introduction of the x64-bit Simple DNSCrypt and decided to take it for a spin — was pleasantly surprised to find that it has now been completely revamped. F3h9xqz.gif

 

You might want to update your tutorial. ;)

Yes, Adguard IP blocking is faster than WFC IP blocking. Infact, Adguard IP blocking is faster than even its own Domain blocking capabilities.

In that case, how about (Acrylic DNS + WFC + Adguard) — want to know whether Adguard blocks (IPs) ahead of WFC.

Just a heads up — Simple DNSCrypt blocks blacklisted IDM domains before Windows Firewall Control (WFC) and even ahead of AdGuard. ^_^

@Ecarion Please update to the latest version and then post the screenshot again. :rolleyes:

Prefer to stay away from RegEx — they are slow, by nature (would like to see a match-up, with WFC though.)

AdGuard even with RegEx was still the first to block when compared with IP ranges in Windows Firewall.

I expected that because Simple DNSCrypt uses particular domain rules, even in AdGuard particular domain rule is faster than a generalised domain rule.

E.g. ||www.internetdownloadmanager.com will always be faster than ||*internetdownloadmanager.com

Same case is in IPs and RegEx.

 

What about IP blocking in Simple DNSCrypt, has it fixed it? How does it compare to AdGuard?

The actual reason why Simple DNSCrypt blocks blacklisted IDM domains before Windows Firewall Control (WFC) and even ahead of AdGuard, is the fact that it operates at a level deeper than either Windows Firewall Control (WFC) or AdGuardSimple DNSCrypt is present right at the very entry-point of the Network Adapter. 8)

The IP Address Tabs on the all-new Simple DNSCrypt are present but greyed out — looks as though they're being re-coded, as well.
